    Default Best day of 2017 so far


    Spent a little over four hours today tossing jigs at a local water reservoir.
    The weather is unusually warm lately and the fish have moved shallow . It was cloudy most of the day with temps in the low 70's . Water temps hit 60 by the afternoon .
    Best performer of the the day was the 1/64 Trout Magnet. Bison , chartreuse with black back , and black front, rear chartreuse. They out fished my tied jigs today .
    I found a new use for a Rod I'd not been happy with before . A 5' Daiwa Presso . Matched up with a Shimano Sahara 500 spooled with 2# PLine I was able to cast the little 1/64 jigs up to 60-70' .
    I caught 33 bream , 17 various sized small LM bass , 13 Crappie , biggest just over a pound , and 4 gold shiners . A fun day of ultralight fishing . Gillchaser

    I got a chance to go back today . I just had to with the weatherman predicting the end of these 70 degree days for awhile .
    At 1:00pm when I got to the lake it was 73 . Best water temp I found was right at 62 and the fish were still there .
    I was armed with 4 UL rods loaded with 2# line and my little box of Trout Magnets . I'm starting to love these Trout Magnets . They have replaced my Sliders for now .
    I wasn't disappointed.
    Around 4:30 when I headed the boat back toward the dock , I'd caught 33 crappies ( largest about 3/4 pound) 17 bluegills , 12 LM bass ( largest around 14" , most were 10-12") and another Gold Shiner .
    What an awesome two days of UL fishing this week . Especially for January. Gillchaser

    Me too. I am amazed by the catches on a 1/64 Trout Magnet.Will not put down Sliders but throwing Trout Magnet's a lot more now.
